Yusuf Buhari, son of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has expressed his profound gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for honoring his father with a befitting state funeral.
Speaking at an expanded Federal Executive Council meeting held in Abuja on Thursday in his father’s honor, Yusuf, who attended the special session with his siblings, thanked President Tinubu and his administration for their unwavering support to his father and their family.
He also extended his appreciation to the National Assembly, Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda, other governors, and all Nigerians who stood by him and his bereaved family during this difficult time.

Yusuf said, “It has shown that he (Buhari) was regarded far more than a politician, but regarded as a friend and a father. To all members of the Federal Executive Council, for the care and befitting burial accorded to our late father, we appreciate you all.
“I also wish to thank the Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and all the distinguished and honorable members of the National Assembly for honoring the memory of our late father during the state burial in Daura.
“Your visits, calls, and prayers symbolise a great honour to the memory of our late father, and we’re sincerely grateful for all the support and solidarity extended to the family. May Allah continue to bless us all.”
Yusuf, who fought back tears, added, “Thank you, daddy. Thank you, Daddy. Thank you, Daddy. May Allah continue to bless, provide, and protect you throughout your tenure.”
Buhari passed away on Sunday at a clinic in London at the age of 82.
His body was subsequently brought back to Nigeria, received by President Tinubu, and buried in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State, on Tuesday.
Buhari had a significant career in Nigerian leadership, serving as the military Head of State from 1983 to 1985 before being democratically elected as President, a position he held for eight years from 2015 to 2023.
